Our Mission

The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation is dedicated to the long-term health and wellbeing of all
Earth’s inhabitants. Through collaborative partnerships, we support innovative projects that
protect vulnerable wildlife from extinction, while restoring balance to threatened ecosystems
and communities. LDF's grantmaking program encompasses six focus areas:

History

In 1998, Leonardo DiCaprio established his foundation with the mission of protecting the
world’s last wild places. LDF implements solutions that help restore balance to threatened
ecosystems, ensuring the long-term health and well-being of all Earth’s inhabitants. Since that
time the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF) has worked on some of the most pressing
environmental issues of our day.

Through grantmaking, public campaigns and media initiatives, LDF brings attention and
needed funding to six program areas -- Wildlands Conservation, Oceans Conservation, Climate
Change, Indigenous Rights, Transforming California, and Innovative Solutions.. Several
successful fundraising events have enabled LDF to scale up our grantmaking strategy, driving
support for vitally important projects around the globe.
Leonardo’s website and social media platforms are also dedicated to inspiring the public to
take action on key environmental issues. Growing in reach from just 500,000 followers in 2007
to over 50 million today, Leonardo’s fans have engaged on an array of issues protecting key
species — sharks in California, tigers in Asia, elephants in Africa — and calling on world leaders
to address the global climate crisis.

In acknowledgement of LDF’s impactful work over the last two decades, Leonardo was
designated as the United Nations Messenger of Peace for Climate Change and received the
2014 Clinton Global Citizen Award. In addition to founding LDF, Leonardo also serves on the
board of several environmental organizations, World Wildlife Fund, Natural Resources Defense
Council, National Geographic’s Pristine Seas, Oceans 5, and the International Fund for Animal
Welfare.

Urgency

We are now experiencing what can only be called a planetary crisis — a convergence of
accelerating climate change, unprecedented loss of biodiversity, and increasing human health
issues caused by a toxic environment. Since 1970, we have lost one-third of the world’s
wildlands, and in that time 50% of all vertebrate land animals have vanished. One-third of the
world’s coral reefs, the “nurseries” of the ocean, have died and another third are expected to
perish by 2030. Climate change is only adding fuel to the fire, with rapidly increasing global
temperatures wreaking havoc on the delicate balance that has allowed life to flourish since the
end of the last ice age. The situation in which we find ourselves is not just tragic for the
thousands of species that will never again roam the Earth, but could threaten the very
existence of our own species, homo sapiens.

Nature freely provides us with an estimated $100 trillion in ecosystem services per year,
making life on Earth possible. Natural systems like forests, wetlands, and marine ecosystems
give us clean water, fresh air, and abundant food, while ensuring a balanced climate system.
Despite this importance of a thriving biosphere, only 15% of our lands and just 3% of our
oceans are formally protected, and only a fraction of global philanthropic dollars support
environmental efforts. Recent estimates indicate that we need 10 times the level of
environmental funding to fund projects that help stabilize ecosystems, giving ourselves the
best chance of survival as the world gets hotter and climate impacts become more severe.

The diverse range of projects supported by LDF – from efforts to create and expand protected
areas on land and in our oceans, to supporting grassroots and indigenous organizations
working to secure important environmental protections and implement sustainable solutions
at the local level – is a direct reflection of the array of efforts that are needed to turn the tide.
LDF believes that we can create a world where both nature and humanity coexist in harmony.
Not only do we believe this can be done, we know it must be done in order to ensure the long-
term survival of vital species and ecosystems.

Our Grants Program

The Foundation has gradually built a significant grantmaking operation, awarding over $80
million in grants since 2010, funding 200+ high-impact projects in 50 countries across Asia, the
Americas, Africa, the Arctic, Antarctica, and all five oceans. Through active collaboration with a
broad network of environmental leaders and experts, effective organizations, and committed
philanthropists, the foundation is able to find and support the best, results-driven projects in
the world’s most wild and threatened ecosystems. Our work is divided into six main program
areas – Wildlands Conservation, Oceans Conservation, Climate Change, Indigenous Rights,
Transforming California, and Innovative Solutions.
